Hey all, couple Q's.

Hi Guys, former member from ages and ages ago in BF2142 as well as a little bit in some of the COD's. (And just playing on the server in a few other games.)

Currently I'm on Connery in planetside 2, and found myself fondly remembering the extremely structured and formal groups that played on the TG bf2142 servers. I was thinking if they ever release the account wide unlocks or a transfer or something that I might want to get back with my favorite co-ordinated group. I actually prefer BF3 more than this game, but I feel the mechanics allow for more of that old bf2142 feel more here.

One of my questions though is, from looking at a few threads appears that things are being run similar to my bf2142 experience, but I was wondering what kind of numbers TG has? IE enough for a full squad or 2 most of the time, only during peak evening hours, etc? Or is there a smaller TG presence in this game? I'm a pretty busy person these days, so could probably consider me more casual. (One or two hours a day or not on for days but then a 6 hour stretch of being online) So I'm wanting to see if there's enough around that I'd actually see other TG instead of continuing to run around solo.

A whole lot of people have been gone due to vacation, but even then we normally field a squad or two each night. When everybody gets back from vacation and into the swing of things, I anticipate going back to being able to field a near full platoon most nights. That's how it was before the holidays began.

Don't let a virtually empty TS channel dissuade you from joining, as the in-game VoIP works rather well and most members use that. Generally speaking, TS is used for idle chit-chat or as a command channel for the PL and SL's.

We also prefer that in-game VoIP be used in order to give potential recruits a good look at how TG plays the game.

As for your microphone not working, start up a new thread and give us some details about the problem. I'm sure we can figure it out.

BF2142 was highly repetitive, lack expansive strategic possibilities, had garish graphics, and was small scale.

PS2 is a significant advance on the BF series.

I'm not sure we played the same BF2142. For those of us that played competitively it was very strategic. Obviously PS2 is "prettier" than BF2142 but in terms of game play BF2142 is still the standard by which I measure multiplayer games today.

I have high hopes for PS2 and it seems to be living up to the standard (BF2142) but the wildly swinging faction populations and zerg'ing appear to be significant issues for me. I'm still missing the commander position in BF2/BF2142.

Continent population imbalances and server population in general are keeping me from playing as much as I'd like these days. When is the last time anyone has seen a server or continent queue? I think an overall player drop is what has led to the cont imbalances. Didn't see too much of it when the server was at/near capacity right after launch.

I'm beginning to get a little disheartened as I was hoping this title would be my main for the next several years.
